Thanks for checking-in Brenda. I don't think it was successful. I'm still having regular afib episodes. I'm waiting to hear back on what the next steps are. The doctor wanted to see what the rhythms looked like. Hopefully you won't need a pace maker, that doesn't sound good. I was told the ablations would be putting an end to my mid-workout heart rate spikes.

How did your ablation go? I have been a serious runner for 34 years and have had two ablations in the last three years. The first one didn't work and the second one was more successful. Unfortunately, a year after the second one, my heart rate started shooting way up during easy running. I have been told this happens sometimes after an ablation. I am now getting tested for a possible pacemaker. The problem just doesn't seem to end.

I am so bad at leaving good messages... Not thinking through what I should say and just spouting my foremost thought. Anyway... Let me start over.
It has been awhile since we have been in touch. I hope you and your family are well. It is fun seeing pics on FB on occasion. I am sorry to hear about these issues/episodes you are having and hope everything is resolved quickly and without any major problems. Our best to you all.

Have you considered anemia as a culprit for the symptoms? They sound similar to some Laura had when she ran in college and her issue was identified as anemia and treated with iron pills. I know that is not likely it for you and that there are many complicated possibilities, but thought it at least would be worth a mention.
Best wishes,
Steve
